3/4 of MY family. I've had a wonderful 12 days with Andrew staying with us on holiday block leave from the Army! He goes back to base tomorrow ??? I'm hoping I see him in just one month in San Antonio graduating as a combat medic before he goes off to Army Ranger stuff and probably onto Airborne. He has enjoyed his trip grossing us out with the in's and out's of wounds, pig blood squirts, and placing a real tourniquet that has a knob that turns in place on all of us to the point our legs go cold lol. He brought his IV training kit but we never got around to getting a 24 gauge needle for him. Let's see graduation is supposed to be Feb. 2, Caitlyn turns 16 on Feb. 12, and Andrew turns 20 on Feb. 22. Ava is now 14 until next October lol.
